Why is it that, the Indian show is not able to make a mark, as their counterpart has, in their own country. The show has become a rage in Pakistan and are preparing to air its fifth season with its past roaring success. Most of the initial reports & views on various social media platforms, show that, the episodes of the Indian version, aired on MTV India, till date has been immaculately disappointing. The music lovers who have been waiting for the show, for so long to be produced in our own country, sounds discontented with the way the show has been conceived. But, why? Whats wrong ? Whats not working? What looks good? And what doesn't ? Let's see.

Thumbs Down :
- Where are musicians like, Ustad Sultan Khan, Zubin, Rabbi Shergill, Gurdaas Maan,
- Leslie Lewis looks busy in promoting her daughter. Give us a break !
- Most of the combinations are weird. For example, Chinnaponnu & Sanjeev T. (Ankiyan Milayoon, Kabhi Ankhiyaan Churayoon.
- Fusion doesn’t mean, simply fusing two different forms of music. Buck Up Leslie !
- Where are the other folk music of our Country? For example, Where is Rajasthani Folk ?
- No synchronization at all. Leslie, you need here lessons from Rohail Hyatt.
- Worst backup vocals ever. What are they doing here?
- Camera, Lighting & Arrangement – Simply overdone.

I am sure we have more talent than Ali Azmat, Tufail Ahmed, Saeen Zahoor, Javed Bashir, Noori & Abida Parveen. Why don’t we see them? Where is that real vibe, everyone ‘s looking for? MTV
Let's hope for something extra-ordinary next season.
